Zerodium Publishes Prices for Zero-Day Exploits

Exploit acquisition firm Zerodium is apparently trying to attract bug bounty hunters by making public the amounts of money it’s prepared to award for various vulnerabilities in popular software.

The highest payout, up to $500,000, can be earned for a high quality zero-day exploit targeting Apple iOS. From September 21 through October 31, Zerodium ran a special bug bounty program offering up to $1 million for an iOS 9 exploit. The company said only one team won the bounty with a full chain of exploits for a remote and untethered iOS 9.1 and 9.2 jailbreak.
